| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 79% | 314,269 |

Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the Honda Jazz specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 86.9%, and this petrol version sits 0.2 points below the 79.2% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Honda Jazz had covered 66,291 miles at test, against 60,484 for the hybrid and 78,666 for the electric. That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Honda Jazz page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
